[2026-06-15] @solzhenidiot@twitter.com: 'A combination of stupidity and blackmail, I think, are the only way we can explain how this war came about.'

Like saying in broad daylight, 400 years after Kepler, 'A great big god driving a chariot of fire across heaven, I think, is the only way we can explain the sun.'

[2026-06-15] @GUnderground_TV@twitter.com: Prof. Steve Keen: ‘Israeli EPSTEIN BLACKMAIL and Trump’s STUPIDITY are the reasons for the war on Iran.’

Expand nonsense

‘Netanyahu deserves peak blame, because this is a war that he talked Trump into. And there have been 30 years of prime ministers, of presidents before Trump who heard that same pitch and turned it down.

Now, Trump, who claims to be the great negotiator, fell for that pitch, whether that’s because it’s dirt that Mossad and Netanyahu have on Trump. And of course, we know he’s in the Epstein files more than virtually anybody else.

Whether it’s the blackmail that led to it happening or his own sense of grandiosity, believing that he could start a war and end it in a few days, it’s hard to say, but I think both factors are there.

I’m almost certain blackmail is involved in the decisions of top political leaders, including Trump. And it’s almost certain that his stupidity, his ridiculous belief that he can end wars after starting them in the first place and get a Nobel Peace Prize for it, is also a factor.

A combination of stupidity and blackmail, I think, are the only way we can explain how this war came about.’

[2] On what will this bourgeois nincompoop blame the next war? This is only 300th or 400th illegal American war of terrorism in as many years. Maybe next year's will be caused by the president's dyspepsia or a meteor passing through Capricorn.

[3] This man is actually much stupider than the ancients who at least noticed that the traverse of the sun was something that happened on a regular basis and couldn't have a one-off aberration as cause.
